Best Diving Boots of 2025

"I absolutely love these boots! I was searching for a minimalist shoe that isn’t overly expensive or poorly designed, and these exceeded my expectations. They are incredibly comfortable for my daily trail walks and practicing Tai-Chi. Compared to my previous Teva water shoes, these fit perfectly and don’t bind my ankles. The flexibility and grip of the rubber sole is amazing, and they are a breeze to clean after muddy outings!"

"I bought these for my scuba certification, and they fit perfectly! The solid bottom gives me great footing, and they are lightweight yet durable. They worked wonderfully with my fins and were definitely worth the price. I expect they will last a long time."

"I took these on a kayaking expedition for two weeks, and they kept my feet warm while protecting them from sharp barnacles and rocks. The grip on the sole is fantastic, and the zipper is smooth. I recommend sizing up for neoprene socks, but overall, they are simply the best!"

“I recently bought the Cressi Adult Neoprene Diving Boots and I'm absolutely delighted with my choice. They have exceeded my expectations in performance and comfort, making my dives incredibly enjoyable. The high-quality neoprene provides fantastic insulation and ensures my feet stay warm and dry.”

“I just received these boots and they are exactly what I needed for my new Tusa scuba fins. The thickness is perfect; it offers enough support while remaining comfortable. I wear a women's US shoe size 8.5, and the size 7 fits me perfectly.”

“I’ve been diving for 20 years and this is my seventh pair of booties. After just one dive trip with these, I can tell they are much more comfortable than my last pair, which caused blisters. These fit well and I’m relieved I won’t have to limp during my vacations anymore.”

“I am very pleased with my purchase! I had the chance to try a friend’s pair while collecting shells on Sanibel Island, which convinced me to buy these. Unlike other water shoes I’ve used that always collected sand and caused blisters, these have a seamless design that feels amazing! They let some water in but keep sand out, and they rinse off easily. I wash them by hand after trips, and they dry nicely. The short boot design didn’t give me ugly tan lines, which was a concern. I highly recommend them!”

“I bought these for metal detecting on Panama Beach and found them to be well-made and comfortable. They fit nicely up to my ankles and seem like they will keep out sand while I hunt. The soles are thick, similar to a tennis shoe, providing good support. So far, I'm really impressed with the quality!”

“These booties are fantastic! I used them for snorkeling with open heel fins and around the boat and beach. They are tall enough to prevent chafing and offer great grip on slippery rocks. The soles protect my feet from sharp objects, and I feel warm even in cold water. I've already recommended them to friends and family due to their excellent value!”

"I've only worn these boots around the house so far, but they seem to be of pretty good quality and are mostly comfortable. I usually wear US Men's 12 M shoes, and while they fit well in length, they feel a bit narrow in the toe box when new and dry. I expect this will improve as they break in. I would recommend them based on my initial impressions. After reading reviews about sizing, I initially ordered a size 11, but that was too small, so I returned them for the size 12, which is a good fit."

"I ordered a Women's size 10, which is my usual size, but it was way too big. I exchanged for a Women's 9, and it was still too big! I finally dropped down to a size 8, which fits perfectly. The 5mm size has nice, sturdy textured soles and a snug fit around the ankle. I'm looking forward to trying them out on the beach!"

"I gave these to my son-in-law, who loves doing cold plunges. They were recommended to me by a nurse who also does cold plunges and really loves them. He was so excited about them and just loves them! His friends were curious and wanted to know where he got them so they could buy some too!"

"I tried everything from cheap to pricey, but these fit perfectly like Cinderella! They are comfortable while diving and only had a slight rub on land, which went away quickly. Great grip and well-made!"

"I wear a women's size 10 and ordered a men's size 8. They fit just right, with my toes not scrunched at all. They're lighter than my old pair, and I suspect they'll perform well when I dive or snorkel."

"These are my first dive boots, and I'm impressed with the comfort and sturdiness. They fit well with my fins, and I received excellent service after USPS lost my package. Highly recommend!"

"I usually wear a size 10.5/11, but I ordered a size 10 and it fits perfectly. The soles have a proper thickness for my fins, making it easy to remove them in the water after a dive."

"I had surgery on my feet and was worried about comfort, but these boots are soft and hug my feet without causing any irritation. They keep my feet toasty warm and the extra toe room is great for wiggling!"

"I initially ordered a small size based on reviews, but I ended up getting a half size smaller and they were very comfortable. These boots kept my fins on snugly, which is a huge plus for me."

"I replaced my old diving boots with these CRESSI ones because my BCD and wetsuit are the same brand. They are very comfortable and extremely well-made."

"I bought these for my dad, and he adores them. They keep his feet warm and fit well in scuba fins."

"I find these boots to be well-made and warm, but I have to be cautious because they are incredibly slippery on wet rocks."

"The fit was a bit tight on my toes at first, but they stretched quickly. I purchased these for my pedal kayak, and they are fantastic for that. My feet stay warm, and they are great for walking to and from the ramp. I can still feel the rocks, but they offer good protection. Overall, I'm very satisfied!"

"I find these shoes to be excellent for water. They work just like they promised, and I'm really impressed!"

"I used these in 60-degree water, and they mostly kept my feet comfortable, though I did get some 2mm neoprene socks for extra insulation."

"I bought these for my daughter, and she says they protect her feet and keep them warm. She loves wearing them while swimming."

"I have a wider size 11 foot, and the XL booties fit like a glove. Although water gets in a bit, it warms quickly due to my body temperature. They keep my feet comfortable in the chilly oceans along the BC Coast."

"I scuba dive frequently in cold San Diego waters and these 7mm boots have kept my feet the warmest. I was initially hesitant after reading some negative reviews, but I found no holes or issues. They fit comfortably around my larger feet and calves, and the zippers work perfectly. I'm very satisfied and will recommend these to my students!"

"I recently used these boots while shelling in Florida, and they were the most comfortable I've ever had. They kept my feet warm in chilly December waters, and I was able to walk for miles without discomfort. The fit was perfect for my ladies' size 7, and they were easy to clean too!"

"I bought these for my dad, who has Reynaud's, and he was initially unsure about wearing them while paddle boarding. However, after his first ride, he noticed how much warmer his feet felt. These boots have really helped him maintain circulation in cold water, and he's grateful for the improved comfort!"
